In answer to a question about continuing Turkish links among the playing staff, he said:

"No, not as a priority. You can't just bring Turkish players in.

"If it is going to be useful for the squad then why not? But not just for the sake of bringing in a Turkish player."

Eren is happy to keep using the training ground at Oakwood FC's Tinsley Lane and have firmly put behind them plans to use the Sikh Gurdwara and Community Sport Centre in Ifield which they announced as their new base in June 2016.

He said: "When I spoke to the council (Crawley Borough Council) my main expectation was to be directed to or be given a nice training ground which was close to the club.

"For a professional football team the facilities at Ifield were not good enough because it was not seeded and was not ready for pre-season.

Operations director Kelly Derham added: "It would have cost £100,000 to get the ground ready."

Eren confirmed: "We are happy where we are (at Oakwood) and that will be on-going.

"If we find something which is better I will consider it.

"I am ready to give more money for a much higher standard of training facilities, I want the best.

"In Africa there are professional world class players who have played without trainers on astroturf.

"The main thing to be successful is to be together to gel, to have that air of belief and success from day one."

Eren stressed he keeps in close contact with everything going on both and on and off the field at Crawley.

He said: "Even if I am not in England I can watch every game through live streaming, so I am in regular touch with the club. I am just focused on Crawley Town."
